I began adding Dong Quai capsules totalling 1000 mg every three hours on the second day, December 30. I took at total of 6000 mg during each day until bleeding was well underway on Jan 1.

I started spotting on December 31. I made a pot of tea with Yarrow, Dong Quai, ginger root and camomile and had several cups of this during the evening. I woke up in the morning with full bleeding and ceased taking the herbs.

I also took many cups of hot ginger tea during the duration and used visualization techniques and a lot of rest.
